This past week’s Shabbat Teen Program was a bit more eventful than usual.  It started normally with the teens greeted by the madrichim who were ready with some great down-time activities.  Once everyone arrived and we were ready to begin we had our Shabbat ceremony and I gave a short D’var Torah on the Parsha.  This week’s theme was Japanese Culture.  We taught the teens how to make sushi and origami.  Then a full out dance party seemingly emerged organically.  I cannot fully describe how it all happened.  However all the right pieces fell into place at the right time.  Very entertaining.  I do have to admit some of these teens are very talented.
